Versatile beauty sticks have been the steady go-to makeup fixers for our last-minute glow-ups. But for summer, we prefer to invest in semi-sheer formulas that’ll last all day and won’t get in the way of our trusty setting mists and sprays. Creamy, nongreasy and gentle, multisticks are ideal for summer since they also smooth pores. And if it saves us the hassle of carrying our eyeshadow, lip balm and cheek tint everywhere, even better.
